Just got back from date night with hubby--dinner and a movie (along with picking up some cat food and the obligatory new toy for our spoiled feline companions).

We saw the Muppet Movie. OMG, so good! It was sweet, funny, corny (in the best way), and full of music and cameos. All our favorites had a part including the Swedish Chef and Animal.

So. Much. Love.

Don't know what Frank Oz thought was objectionable about the script...I didn't see anything there except love and respect for the Muppets.

And Miss Piggy rocks!

Oh, and Kermit has a Rolls Royce! EEEEEEEEEE!

Not just for kids!

Now we're going to have some hot chocolate (it's down to 28 degrees already) then we'll be off to bed soon.

Hubby and I had a fabulous date last night. He took me to see The Dark Knight. It was awesome. Full of action, drama, chills, thrills and a tiny laugh now and then to ease the tension. We want to see it again (heh, I'll believe that when my hubby drags his tail to a theatre again so soon).

After the movie we went out to dinner and spent a lovely hour talking about what we'd just seen. One thing hubby mentioned about playing Batman (as an actor) struck me as so true. He said when someone plays the Batman, he's really playing three characters. First is Batman the super hero. Second is Bruce Wayne, ethical businessman and philanthropist. Third is Bruce Wayne, the playboy/public face. And hubby feels that Christian Bale has done the best job of all playing all three.

I quite agree.

Heath Ledger as the Joker was brilliant. All the raves about his performance are valid, IMO. He plays the Joker with exactly the correct amount of crazy and cool. Complete chaos would be an apt description.

Also loved Gary Oldman as Gordon.

Guess that's it for now. :)
